CMI CEO Raj Shah to Deliver Smart Hospitals Forecast Session at India Health 2026

New Delhi, India | August, 2026 — India Health 2026 will include a featured session from Raj Shah, Founder & CEO of Coherent Market Insights (CMI), tackling a question the industry keeps circling without really answering: just how fast is India's smart hospital and digital health market growing, and where is that growth actually happening.

The session takes place on Day 1, August 21, 2026, at 4:00 PM, under the title "India Smart Hospitals & Digital Transformation Market – Trends & Forecast 2026–2033." It's built directly on a new CMI India Health 2026 intelligence report developed specifically for India Health attendees — hospital administrators, medical technology vendors, digital health startups, and investors weighing where to commit capital next.

The topic earns a full session rather than a slide inside a larger panel because the underlying trend isn't uniform in the way headline numbers suggest. Hospital digitization in Bengaluru looks nothing like hospital digitization in a smaller tier-three city. AI has advanced much further in diagnostics than it has in day-to-day hospital administration. And regulation, in both cases, is still working to catch up. Rather than presenting one smoothed-out growth curve, Shah's session is designed to show where the market actually stands city by city and use case by use case.

CMI choosing to send its own CEO to present, rather than delegating the session to a researcher or analyst, is less a branding decision than an accountability one — a way of putting its name directly behind its findings instead of letting a written report carry that weight alone. It fits a pattern in how CMI generally operates: research is meant to be argued for in person, not just published and left for others to interpret.

"What people miss about this market is that the headline growth number hides more than it reveals. Some metro hospital chains are years into serious digital transformation, while comparable facilities elsewhere haven't started. Diagnostics AI is well ahead of where hospital-operations AI currently sits. Anyone basing an investment decision on the national average is effectively planning around a figure that doesn't correspond to any real hospital. That's the distinction I intend to walk through on stage." — Raj Shah, Founder & CEO, Coherent Market Insights

After the session, Shah and the CMI team will be available at Booth G40, Hall 6, for direct conversations on the underlying research, market entry strategy, and competitive positioning within India's healthcare technology space.

India Health 2026 runs 21–23 August 2026 at Hall 6, Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, organized by Informa Markets.
